It is a test of the level of trust of managers in a company. If you are working for a micromanager or a lesser experienced manager, they would never imagine you talking to their boss, ever. If anything they might even threaten to fire you if you "go above them".
I can give 1 good example and one "superfluous" example, off the top of my head.

Good example) My bank (Nordea.se) has a nice internet banking portal, it works rather well in Firefox until you need to do a video meeting with your adviser. (which I'm doing for a mortgage). Then, in Firefox, nothing happens, no dialog, no pop-up/under, just... nothing, when I click join meeting.

If I do it in Edge/Chrome- it works. Frustrating.

Superfluous example: Microsoft Teams _always_ has issues and sometimes even throws up warnings about using an unsupported browser. Though this is on Firefox ESR.
Yes. I think this is a great one. Teams should make decisions together. Every time there has been grumblings about a decision made at places I've worked, it has been made without input. Sometimes people will not like something regardless, but at least they would have got a chance to let their voice be heard if decision making is shared.
Here's the paper: https://epi.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/EPI-PT_Young-p...

It's all correlational (observing that people with higher social media use are worse off in various ways). This approach is not capable of detecting reverse causation (people use social media more because they are unhappy) or third causes (something else causes people to both use more social media and also be unhappy)
It builds to HTML and JS using dartj2s. It chooses the canvas if on a desktop browser, and HTML on mobile. I chose to make the default HTML always, for predictability.
It really is. Glad you find it interesting.

There are a few podcasts too of interest, including Startups for the rest of us by Rob Walling and Mike Taber
I think Vista implemented keyed synchronization objects (i.e. a flavour of futexes) which have similar edge triggered semantics as CVs.
Even here, I feel we're overcomplicating things. For example, possibly ignoring what 'Shoes' are comprised of, were Clothing now to contain:

- Clothing

-- Discount

Then does your scenario really become as big a problem as you suggest? For one, some ontological relationships needn't be described in the same layer, or can simply be implied.

A Red Fox, a Red Ant and a Red Snapper are definitely related in some way, but I wouldn't use the same class to program a representation of all three.

A Red Shirt, and a Red Pair of Trousers/Pants though, probably share enough for a rough outline for online shopping app though.
It is unfair to competitors who do pay taxes. Besides, it still leaves governments unfunded.
I get that there is a need to differentiate, for the purpose of discussion, traditionally privileged white people from, well, literally everyone else. Any label using a negative prefix like "non-white" or "un-privileged" is not desirable because it suggests a lack of something. But it seems to me like we should be able to do a lot better than a rephrasing of a term associated with the Jim Crow era.
This brings up a question I still haven't gotten a clear answer to: why isn't Signal peer-to-peer like this?

What is it about p2p that made it not doable, rather than Signal's current setup where every message goes through a centralized server before reaching the recipient?

Would appreciate any insight.
Could you break down that number?

I went to a state school for 6 years and my total (living + textbooks + food + tuition) cost is nowhere near that number.
A family friend explained it in a way that stuck with me, paraphrasing:

"When you were in school, you only compared yourself to peers at your school and maybe one school over. Now me and my friends compare our looks, accomplishments, and follower counts to everyone within 10 years of us on Instagram"
Social media use seems like a subset of 'caring what other people think' which I believe is very damaging to young minds.

Yup, there are people working in all sorts of industries that have their own biases and it gets reflected in their work.

It goes the other way too, there are plenty of professionals (female engineers, male primary education teachers, etc.) who get harmed by the biases of the general public.

Really tangential story but I was calling large supplier in my industry looking for an application engineer to help me figure out how to set something up. I first asked for one and got put on hold until someone picked up, I started describing the problem and was told "oh, hold on, it sounds like you need an applications engineer, I'll go get one" so I get put on hold again. The next person picks up and the exact same thing happens. Finally I'm getting a little flustered and a woman picks up the phone and because of what just happened I say "Am I speaking to an applications engineer?!?" She sighs and responds in the positive in an annoyed voice and I finally get my questions answered. This stuck with me for a while because I felt really bad knowing she assumed my initial incredulity was because it was a female voice on the line, and I certainly don't blame her for thinking that either.
Twitter should be judged by the way it governs its platform. And from libertarian perspective it's governed poorly. Sure, under current laws they can get away with deplatforming in the way they do now, but there is nothing commendable or desirable about it for libertarians specifically.
Except I keep hearing about it constantly, everywhere, including Twitter. And yet I haven't seen a single one being banned for discussing fiscal policy, less regulation, conservative views on social programs etc. "Conservative voices [being] silenced" are almost always some variation of spamming evidently real-world damaging conspiracy theories or clear ToS violations.
It really depends on the situation. Some stuff you won't need one month into future, other stuff you'll need for decades. Manage your efforts wisely. Time after all is limited.

Many companies wouldn't have existed if they didn't move fast and tried to perfect everything instead of prioritising getting to market.

> is super safe if you're on the far left

Liberals are not considered the "far left" and people on the far left dislike them as much as people on the right do.

This isn't a "no true Scotsman" issue either, there are clear distinctions between various left-wing ideologies and mainstream liberalism (radical or not). Finger pointing and blaming individuals, the type of behavior your describing, is classic dominant capitalist ideology, something that all flavors of the left are deeply skeptical of.

Both "radical" liberalism and rising right-wing extremism are different varieties of nihilism, stemming from the same root cause of a degradation in our overall material conditions and the breakdown of late capitalist society. Both are essentially empty systems of rhetoric with no underlying values that ultimately lead to a totalitarian way of thinking.

To reiterate, the thinking your describing is absolutely not "far left".

Do you mean LZ4? I fear your comment is a bit misleading as-is.
Social media is engineered to be addictive and creates media bubbles that prey on kids insecurities.

Social media takes every challenge that kids face and amplifies it.

My anecdotal experience is two daughters whose normal teenage challenges have been made worse through social media.

Social media could have been a utopian technology bubbling up unique experiences to cultivate hobbies and interests in the young. Instead the algorithms cater to our base instincts and is amplifying the risk of turning the next generation into mindless addicts.
It is planned obsolescence, but not because of the usage of liquid metal thermal paste. Liquid metal is not only more expensive to buy but also to apply (it is very difficult to apply liquid metal thermal paste correctly, and also they need to take care to not spill liquid metal in exposed parts of the processor or it may short circuit the CPU; that is probably also the reason of the white plastic around the CPU). Also, liquid metal only form alloys with some types some metal and probably Asus knows this and avoided using them.

But it is still planned obsolescence because like most notebooks those parts like fans are not meant to be replaced, at all. They probably can be replaced, but is still expensive so most people will prefer to buy another notebook rather than replacing a fan or battery.

> To put it simplistically, if you have a file which is a (good) random mix of an equal number A and B characters, LZ4 won't be able to compress it significantly

I checked it. LZ4 is still reducing the size to half, no idea why half. So for 10 MB file it compresses to 5 MB.

Edit: checked with highest compression and it compresses 1MB file to 185KB. So what the parent wrote is false.
Not sure where you're from, but round here taxes are used for the infrastructure that private business need to have a market - schools, roads, health care and sometimes even direct investments in private businesses. The two start-ups I've been working for in the past have been helped off the ground by both government and EU money.

If Ikea are using elaborate company structures to pay less tax than other furniture stores, they are stealing from the societies that enable them to thrive. Especially if they are using that advantage to depress prices.
I always ask, what are some things that can be improved in this company?

Flipping the "what are your weaknesses?" back at them. You have weaknesses and so do they. If you can accept these "flaws" then you're one step further in the right direction. Or if they give you a bunch of nonsense, you know there is a bad culture hiding under there.
I have a hard time understanding why the cost of learning web dev (CSS/html) is a sunk cost.

It's absolutely both. I think a lot more people would cite Pratchett as a direct influence on their philosophy of life than you'd expect.

> is it real or not?

Yes, this is a convincing argument against both reductionism and the unqualified use of "real". Emergent and non-atomisable things have to be considered as "real" for reasoning purposes or you collapse in a pile of logic.
It creates a market for exchange of these securities, with the associated speculative nature.

Last week in a university course, I was surprised to read in A Short History of Physics in the American Century (Cassidy, 2013), that at least with Physics, US public perception of science had been tumultuous following the WWI, WWII, and the Cold War. As a scientific discipline, it only reached maturity through the war-effort, which earned it infamy for bringing about terrorizing nuclear weapons.
Indeed. Just classifying and dismissing arguments based on these memetic argumentation taxonomies has become a debating strategy unto itself.

doesn't that headline essentially say "teenagers damage teenagers' mental health"?

Don't most teenagers spend most of their time socializing with other teenagers?

My pre-internet teenage "social networking" was full of traumatic times. Has that not been the case of teenagers forever?

I guess this study is reporting an measurable increase above the "normal" amount? That seems like it would be very hard to measure.
To note. All engineering has this problem.

Yes, building cars in a factory yields repetitive results, but what about all the different engineering projects. The truth is that this is not a new problem, we just lack discipline of fields that have been refined over thousands of years.

Because of the quick idea to prototype rate, product research and refinement takes a back seat. All engineering projects have massive research before the first stone is placed. Nobody mid way through building a sky scraper decides "oh, do we need to redo the foundation?"

I would also like to note, nobody is gonna give a self-taught architect who's 19 the ability to build that skyscraper foundation. Each building technique is developed, tested, and then once determined good, is actually used by others, and supervised by an industry veteran with underlings who learn and eventually themselves supervise such projects. Meanwhile in software it is the opposite.

Not to say that there isn't a reason software grows so fast. Things change daily. If software worked like architecture we'd be licensing even the right to use ruby on rails-style modeling. But software works differently, thus faster iteration, thus more loosey-goosey, thus harder to estimate.

So it's no longer enough to just keep your "wrong" opinions to yourself, you have to actually prove that you have the "right" opinions. Enjoy having the right opinions at the moment, I guess - until fashions change, anyway.
I think part of the reason it's so stressful for teenagers is that there actual repercussions for their group position.

I find it absurd too, but it is often how it is phrased in English-language discourse, even in Dutch discourse the anti-Islām branch phrases it as such: the language suggests that one can identify a “Muslim” by some kind of physical phænotype of his body.

The difference is that in general in Dutch discourse, such statements are considered racist or betraying such a mentality, and frequently protested, but, in English-language literature, even the “left” that claims to champion the causes of all these “races” and “religions” still very often writes in a way that betrays a mentality that some religions and countries are “races” and others are not.
Experience with languages transfers well, because programming is 80% "architecture" and 20% language (or framework or stack). (numbers made up).

The latter is a fast moving field. The first requires deep knowledge, and experience.

When you build an application with the latest javascript framework, vue-native, or ncurses, there is far more than learning ECMA2020, MVC or that ncurses-rust-binding-lib.

It requires you to study and understand the domain. Translate that into a domain model. Finetune that. Search for patterns and frameworks that fit this model. Develop the software in a way that it can be maintained, react to market demands and so on. These are skills that transcend languages or frameworks. That you can apply to both the latest kubernetes-docker-cluster and to the server in the closet. That you can apply to ncurses or vue-native.

You'll need to learn when, but mostly why, Rails becomes a PIAS for certain jobs, but also when or why ASP.net or Spring is not magically going to solve the problems you have with Rails. ASP.net or Spring probably don't translate well to, say Rails, wrt syntax or features. But the deeper knowledge, about how to model your OOP translates just fine. Or when all of those tools are going to be a PIAS because the domain is ill-fitted for OOP or MVC and needs something else.

And knowing React and Redux is neat (untill react is replaced by vue?) the knowledge it teaches you about functional state patterns will help you in your next elixir or even Rust project. Or vice-versa: a dev who only ever worked on your typical MVC CRUD-app, will probably have a hard time grokking Redux, whereas someone withour any JS experience but knowledge and experience in events, CQRS, or functional programming can pick it up in days: all they'll need to learn is the quircks of javascript (undefined-is-not-a-function).
These studies seem to keep contradicting each other:

> A new study in Nature Human Behaviour, which looked at data from more than 350,000 adolescents, also found that digital tech use mattered little to kids’ well-being. The authors, Amy Orben and Przybylski, argue that prior research, which examined the impact of social media on teens and tweens, was based on weak correlations and insufficiently comprehensive methods, and therefore drew false conclusions.

The problem with meritocracy is not the merit but the cracy. To be a good manager or doctor or investment banker requires a set of skills that only some fraction of the population will possess, and it make sense that people from that subset should fill those roles. At the same time, being a good welder or mechanic or social worker also require a set of skills which only some fraction of the population will possess. The idea that someone with the investment banker skillset is inherently superior to someone with the car mechanic skillset does not follow naturally from this optimization.

The problem is we subconsciously tend to put the cart before the horse: we assume that skilled and hard working
(ie good) people will get good jobs, and thus good jobs are filled by skilled and hard working people. Meanwhile a bad job must be done by someone who couldn't get a good job. Investment banking looks from the outside at least like a good job - you get to sit in a comfortable office looking nice and the heaviest thing you need to lift is probably your cup of coffee. Sure mental exhaustion and stress may take years off your life, but if you've never had to deal with that problem on that scale, it's hardly a deterrent. There aren't many investment banking positions out there, and those that are available require a rare skillset, so it will naturally be a tough job to get but if you are qualified you can negotiate for a nice salary. Anyone who deserves such a position must be quite deserving.

Of course we know this not to be the case. No one in their right mind would consciously associate investment banking with moral perfection. And it's easy to think of examples of objectively terrible jobs that nevertheless require extremely specific and rare skillsets. But it is difficult to reconcile this obvious reality with our deeply held belief, and unfortunately people tend to reject the reality.

However if we stop thinking of jobs in moral terms, allocating them based on skillset becomes much more sensible. Consider a computer: while the CPU acts kind of like a leader, we do not consider it fundamentally more important than the hard drive or the communications bus or the display. If your hard drive isn't getting enough power, it would be absurd to say it should work a little harder and try to emulate the cpu's example, nor would we seek to transition the display into a cpu role after a long period without any dead pixels.
